error.  Hass anyone heard of this before?  Any help would be 
appriciated.   Thanks in advance.

Hi Chintan!
connection. I believe you're trying to connect to a Windows 2000 Server from
Mac OS X.
The version of Mac OS X is important.
Mac OS X 10.1 introduced the ability to connect via SMB, but you couldn't
browse a Windows network. You had to know the exact IP address or name of
the server and the name of the share as well.
Mac OS X 10.2 introduced the ability to browse Windows networks as well as
connect via SMB.
I'm suspecting you may be trying to connect to the Windows server via AFP
and it may not have the Mac File Services installed.
In either case, when you're trying to connect to the server, make sure the
connect string on your Mac starts with "smb://servername". If you know the
share it will look like "smb://servername/sharename". If you don't know
servername, the you can use "smb://ipaddress" or
"smb://ipaddress/sharename".
Hope this helps! bill
